Product Overview
Elizabeth kolbert's environmental classic field notes from a catastrophe first developed out of a groundbreaking, award-winning three-part series in the new yorker. She expanded it into a still-concise yet richly researched and damning book about climate change: a primer on the greatest challenge facing the world today. In the years since, the story has continued to develop the situation has become more dire, even as our understanding of it grows. Now kolbert returns to the defining book of her career. She'll add a chapter bringing things up to date on the existing text, plus she'll add three new chapters - on ocean acidification, the tar sands and a danish town that's gone carbon neutral. It will, once again, be a must-read for our moment.
